HIDDEN GAMES by Moshe Hoffman & Erza Yoeli, read by Gary Tiedemann - audiobook extract
b'How game theory\\u2014the ultimate theory of rationality\\u2014explains irrational behaviour.\\n\\nIn Hidden Games, MIT economists Moshe Hoffman and Erez Yoeli find a surprising middle ground between the hyperrationality of classical economics and the hyper-irrationality of behavioural economics. They call it hidden games. Reviving game theory, Hoffman and Yoeli use it to explain our most puzzling behaviour, from the mechanics of Stockholm syndrome and internalised misogyny to why we help strangers and have a sense of fairness.\\n\\nFun and powerfully insightful, Hidden Games is an eye-opening argument for using game theory to explain all the irrational things we think, feel and do and will change how you think forever.'
